“Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput waved a red flag before an -international audience Thursday in Spain, accusing Europe of growing religious intolerance and abusing Christianity…”
"…Chaput cited legal restrictions of religious expression and open contempt of religious symbols.
“Programs like How To Cook a Crucifix (a show aired on Spanish TV last December), and sacramental confessions recorded without the confessor’s knowledge are deeply contemptuous of Catholic believers,” Chaput said.
“This is unworthy of Europe’s moral dignity and religious heritage. Furthermore, it stands in stark contrast to OSCE commitments to promote religious freedom.”
Chaput said “an equally dangerous trend” was state-encouraged ridicule and intolerance of public expressions of faith, often derided as fundamentalism."
